Charles de Gaulle Airport to Paris Shuttle Service

For our trip to Paris, I arranged for a private shuttle service to take my grandchildren and me from Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) to the apartment we had rented, and from the apartment back to the airport. I made reservations with the company Shuttle Inter (http://www.shuttle-inter.com/). The one-way cost was €55 ($79.20) for the three of us. Service was provided in a large, comfortable van.

The driver was waiting for us on arrival in Paris. He had a sign with our name and was standing just outside the customs area of our arrival terminal.

On the way back, the same driver arrived at the reservation time of 6 a.m. It was important for me to know the terminal from which our flight was departing. CDG has three terminals and those terminals have different "halls." We were departing from Terminal 2 Hall G. 2G is about 1.5 to 2 miles away from Halls A, B, C, D, E, and F of Terminal 2.

I made the reservations months in advance and reconfirmed the reservations two days prior to each pick up date.

The cost was about the same as a taxi, but much more comfortable.

There are cheaper ways to get into town - e.g., train or Air France bus. However, both methods involve transfers, walking up an down stairs, susceptibility to pickpockets,etc. While the transfers and stairs are no problem for someone traveling on a short trip or with little luggage, it’s quite another matter at the end of a long trip. Our trip was particularly long because we had flown from the U.S. to Paris via Italy!! The tickets were much cheaper.
